Vg. Bashtovoi et al., CONTROLLED HEAT-TRANSFER IN 2-COMPONENT MAGNETOFLUID SYSTEMS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 122(1-3), 1993, pp. 309-311
This paper describes the effects of a magnetic field on heat transfer
processes in two-component magnetofluid systems. It is shown that in s
uch systems the effect on heat transfer is due to the instability of t
he flat interface between the two media, due to forming required confi
guration of this interface. It is found that, by applying an external
magnetic field, the energy of the mechanical displacement of a nonmagn
etic body in a magnetic fluid can be converted to electrical energy.
